; Hello World

Mum's starting to get a little stir crazy in the house.
I've been trying my best to keep her cheery, as best as I can.
We've been watching a bunch of comedies, including a new Billy Connolly show that BBC Scotland have been doing on Thursday nights.
She also really enjoyed the "Antiviral Wipe", too.

Starting to run out of content, though.
Maybe she'll enjoy Limmy..
.. :\

Hope you're all staying safe and sane throughout all of this chaos, as well as your family.
Don't forget to check on far away relatives, too.
ascii hugs for all.

; GTA V Free

Available as part of Epic's attempt to suck up as many users as they can.
GTAV has been available for the past week or so, and could maybe perhaps still be free today. I'm not sure exactly when the offer ends.

The tech certainly does look impressive, but can games ever actually look this good within a half decent timescale/budget?
